December Meme - Day 10
For today, I was asked:
You are given a life-long stipend of $30,000 a month on the condition that you must stay in the city of your choice for the rest of your life. Do you accept? If so, what city do you choose?
For the first half of the question, it's a complete and total yes. I am a creature of comfort, and to have a lot of money and live in the city of my choice sounds amazing. The hard part, of course, is defining what 'stay in the city of your choice' means. If I wasn't able to ever travel out of the city, even if it's five steps, then I would choose New York, because it's big and sprawling and there's the Met and the Cloisters and Broadway and I would never feel bored.
If it means 'you can leave on day trips, as long as you wake up in your city and go to bed in your city, then I would choose York, England. It's been years since I visited, but it was (and maybe still is) my favorite city. I felt immediately at home there in a way that I've never felt anywhere else before. And it would be awesome to take day trips to London or go up to Scotland for the day.
